bridging the gap

Since its humble beginnings in 1986, GMAD has hired 135 people who served over 590,000 Black men who are same-gender loving and their allies. GMAD uses the term richly-complexioned to capture the spectrum of men of color served.

GMAD was founded in the spring of 1986 by Reverend Charles Angel, a Pentecostal minister and societal engineer. He envisioned, as do we, a world in which "... gay men of African descent have all the love and support they need to thrive."
